Me??? :Yikes: Cheat???? :Yikes: .......yes ;)

Re: The lunar eclipse
 

Yeah, it's fairly obvious that this incident isn't the one John wrote about :)

Re: The lunar eclipse
 

Got a few fairly nice pics already. Would be nice if I had a better zoom lens on my camera though. I'll get a few with the red filter turned on which should bring out the colour nicely. I'll post them a bit later (I don't want to take the camera off the tripod yet)

Bad man!


Russ, maybe he just got the scale wrong, check down the back of the sofa incase a mini apocalypse is going on ;)

Re: The lunar eclipse
 

It certainly looks nice through a set of binoculars :)

Re: The lunar eclipse
 

No, we'll need a world-wide earthquke first :angel:

Just been out to take a look - fairly cloudless but I can't see it :(

Re: The lunar eclipse
 

Hang on, just had an afterthought...anyone seen Day of the Triffids??

Didn't 99% of the world go blind after watching something like this???

"That's no moon. It's a space station!" :shocked:


Sorry.

Where's the "I'll get my coat..." smiley.....

Re: The lunar eclipse
 

can't find my compass, (it's dark), but I estimate it is east, about 45° above the horizon.

<edit> coming out of 'totality', now, noticeably brighter at the bottom.

Re: The lunar eclipse
 

Yeah, just clocked it now - it looks like the bit of your thumbnail that you're left with after you've attacked it with nail clippers! :D

I thought it would be more red than that - it's almost totally white :(

Re: The lunar eclipse
 

OK, give me a bit to import and crop the pics I took and I'll upload them. I got some nice shots of when it was reddish-coloured :)

Re: The lunar eclipse
 

before the white bit happened, when the eclipse was 'total', you could see the rest of it more clearly, it was more dark orange than anything, now the sun is starting to reflect off the moon again, that colour is suppressed, I can still see the whole disc, though. I reckon you may have more 'light pollution', where you are, Russ?

Probably 50/50 light / dark now, looks like Ramrod's avatar :)

Re: The lunar eclipse
 

Just saw the last bit. Murky grey/brown rather than blood red :(

Re: The lunar eclipse
 

Ok, I'm off for a wander outside, hope it's not cloudy
